We already have armed security in every place in America. The Constitution demands it and certainly authorizes it.
The right of the people to keep & bear arms.
We as individuals have every right to keep our weapons upon our person at all times.
We also as individuals have every right to bear those arms, when all hell breaks out.
Including people that are categorized children, by a one size fits all age requirement.

and yet, most of these are not terrorist attacks, when the rest of the world has mass killing, it is a terrorist

start treating these school shooters as terrorists, make future killers so afraid of the US that they wont consider it

It's what everybody is already used to! Why change what appears to be working? More "thoughts and prayers" go out, and then the 2nd amendment people go to the gun stores for more guns and ammo! Then they rationalize that at least those poor students "went home to GEEEZUS" and "God only knows what worse fate was in store for them, had they lived!". Rinse ...repeat!

Exactly. Please don’t make things difficult for the mass murderers. The media needs higher body count!

Who is going to go around to enforce this law though, or to ensure homeowners are being truthful when they buy insurance?

If they raised the age to 21 to own a gun, then would have to up the age for people to enter the military then too.

We have to address the source of this, whats causing it to happen...IMO, that is Govt, trying to change public opinion about guns to their benefit. Our founding fathers warned us about such govts and how they would try to usher in tyranny, but its up to us to actually recognize it when it happens and put a stop to it. Govt should be removed from power immediately.

Betsy and Erik will supply school security packages to schools for about $500,000 to $2,500,000 a pop, where the supplied SRO makes $12.50 an hour and she and her brother pocket the rest of the loot. This is what her brother did by supplying drivers for military vehicles in Iraq. The drivers at Blackwater made 10 times as much as the army soldiers doing the same thing.

I can see it now at the opening of their new Texas "protected school for K-8 kids", Tanks Alot, where an Army Surplus tank and that $12.50 School Resource Officer stand guard at the entrance. Betsy will give a speech where she declares that "this is the new definition of a safe public school" and will lobby Congress to defund public schools that don't have this "Aura of Protection". Betsy will remark that crappy students go to "crappy unprotected schools"! The nearest school that doesn't have "protection" will suffer a "mass shooting" with the result that Betsy and Erik are well on their way to their next billion!

Ain't America great? Especially if you're rich ...and getting richer!
I do not for one minute think this is a plan involving the Secretary of Education.

I wouldn't put it past Prince and Bannon. He and his buddy Bannon were dis invited to the meeting at Camp David where they were gonna pitch privatizing the American presence in Afghanistan. They need to figure to another way to make money.

Hilarious. Think about how screwed up our society must be if we need armed guards at theaters, churches and concerts. The rest of the free world is laughing at us.

No they are not. EU has suffered far more casualties via terrorism. No one is immune.
